Free Computer Education for SC/ST Students
This
was started in 1994 with 30 students being trained annually.
Financially aided by the union government's SC/ST ministry,
it has till date ensured the placement of more than 400 students
all of whom are from rural backgrounds. This was due to SCOPE
giving preference to rural candidates due to their lacking
similar facilities in their areas.
Candidates applications are collected from SHGs as the latter
have a good idea of candidates in their area and also from
the district employment office.
